hi, I need to transcode a bunch of videos wihtout popping up the GUI. Whenever I use a command line like this

vlc file.avi --sout='#transcode{vcodec=mp2v, acodec=mpga}:std{access=file, mux=ps,url=file.mpg}'

a GUI pops up and shows progress of transcoding; I need to supress it since I will be using a batch transcoder and executing it remotely;

is there an option like -nogui to do this?

Thanks!

Start vlc with --intf telnet then interface wont come out. If you want that vlc would quit when it ends transcoding you can add vlc:quit at the end of command line!

Thanks a lot! that really helps!

If you don't need the telnet interface, -I dummy should be enough.
